The Russian Federation uses railway tanks to transfer its servicemen to the territory of Belarus.
As the Belarusian publication “Nasha Niva” reports, this is how the Russians mislead satellite and visual monitoring of cargo. It is currently unknown whether military equipment and ammunition are being transported to Belarus in this way.
“On December 29, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that there are half as many Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders as there were on February 24. However, the information of “Nasha Niva” about the transfer of Russian troops in tanks indicates that the presence of Russian troops in Belarus may be greater,” – the publication notes.
Military threat to Ukraine from Belarus.
At the end of 2022, Ukrainian border guards reported that there were more than 10,000 Russian soldiers on Belarusian territory, and these forces were not enough for a second attack on Ukraine.
In Belarus, on January 16, joint flight and tactical exercises of the aviation units of the Armed Forces, which are part of the aviation component of the “regional grouping of forces”, began with Russia.
Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said that, according to Ukrainian military intelligence, the probability of a new invasion of Russian invaders from the territory of Belarus in the coming weeks remains low.
